An imbalance in the macrophage phenotype is closely related to various inflammatory diseases. Here, we discovered that gypenoside LXXV (GP-75), a type of saponin from Gynostemma pentaphyllum, can reprogram M1-like macrophages into M2-like ones. On a mechanistic level, GP-75 inhibits NF-κB-COX2 signaling by targeting the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Administration of GP-75, either orally or by intraperitoneal

A major next step in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology is to enhance our quantitative understanding of cellular and evolutionary dynamics involved in undisturbed hematopoiesis.

Microbial richness and air chemistry in aerosols above the PBL confirm 2,000-km long-distance transport of potential human pathogens Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.

The existence of viable human pathogens in bioaerosols which can cause infection or affect human health has been the subject of little research. In this study, data provided by 10 tropospheric aircraft surveys over Japan in 2014 confirm the existence of a vast diversity of microbial species up to 3,000 m height, which can be dispersed above the planetary boundary layer over distances of up to 2,000

Modern life requires many different metal ions, which enable diverse biochemical functions. It is commonly assumed that metal ions’ environmental availabilities controlled the evolution of early life. We argue that evolution can only explore the chemistry that life encounters, and fortuitous chemical interactions between metal ions and biological compounds can only be selected for if they first occur

Adolescence is a period of substantial social–emotional development, accompanied by dramatic changes to brain structure and function. Social isolation due to lockdowns that were imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental impact on adolescent mental health, with the mental health of females more affected than males. We assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on adolescent

Rethinking livestock encroachment at a protected area boundary Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. (IF 9.4) Pub Date : 2024-09-09 Wenjing Xu, Bilal Butt
The presence of livestock inside protected areas, or “livestock encroachment,” is a global conservation concern because livestock is broadly thought to negatively affect wildlife. The Maasai Mara National Reserve (MMNR), Kenya, exemplifies this tension as livestock is believed to have resulted in the declining wildlife populations, contributing to the strict and sometimes violent exclusion measures

Despite growing scientific alarm about anthropogenic climate change, the world is not on track to solve the crisis. Inaction may be partially explained by skepticism about climate change and resistance to proenvironmental policies from people who are motivated to maintain the status quo (i.e., conservative-rightists). Therefore, practical interventions are needed. In the present research program, we

More than 50% of all animal species are insects that undergo complete metamorphosis. The key innovation of these holometabolous insects is a pupal stage between the larva and adult when most structures are completely rebuilt. Why this extreme lifestyle evolved is unclear. Here, we test the hypothesis that a trade-off between growth and differentiation explains the evolution of this novelty. Using a

People who share encounters with racism are silenced online by humans and machines, but a guideline-reframing intervention holds promise Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.

Are members of marginalized communities silenced on social media when they share personal experiences of racism? Here, we investigate the role of algorithms, humans, and platform guidelines in suppressing disclosures of racial discrimination. In a field study of actual posts from a neighborhood-based social media platform, we find that when users talk about their experiences as targets of racism, their

Childhood PM 2.5 exposure and upward mobility in the United States Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. (IF 9.4) Pub Date : 2024-09-09 Sophie-An Kingsbury Lee, Luca Merlo, Francesca Dominici
Although it is well documented that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) increases the risk of several adverse health outcomes, less is known about its relationship with economic opportunity.

The electrochemical series is a useful tool in electrochemistry, but its effectiveness in materials chemistry is limited by the fact that the standard electrochemical series is based on a relatively small set of reactions, many of which are measured in aqueous solutions. To address this problem, we have used machine learning to create an electrochemical series for inorganic materials from tens of thousands

Singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) is important in the environmental remediation field, however, its efficient production has been severely hindered by the ultrafast self-quenching of the as-generated radical precursors in the Fenton-like reactions.
